“Young master, what are you doing here?” The elder from the Heavenly Demon Sect was the one that spoke first.
His voice was filled with shock as he said this, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
The one who was in the room turned to look at the elder when they heard this and narrowed their eyes to look at the elder for a bit. The elder couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised when he saw this, but he didn’t back down as he waited for them to speak.
But that person in the room didn’t say anything as they turned their eyes to look at something else.
It was Lin Fan who those eyes fell onto.
When Lin Fan saw those eyes falling on him, there was an awkward smile that appeared on his face.
At the same time, there was a trace of guilt that appeared in his eyes.
This was a person that he didn’t think he would be seeing again so soon, but at the same time…it was a person that he didn’t want to see.
After looking at Lin Fan for a bit, that person looked back at the elder and asked, “What’s wrong with me being here?”
There was a bitter smile that appeared on the face of the elder before he said, “There’s nothing wrong with that, young master. I was just wondering why someone like you came all the way here.”
The one that he was referring to as young master was Ye Tian Xie.
This was Ye Qing Huan’s older brother and the one that Lin Fan had met all the way back then in Inferno City.
As for the reason why Lin Fan felt guilty towards him…
Well, Ye Tian Xie considered himself Lin Fan’s friend and Lin Fan had done the one thing that friends shouldn’t do to each other. Lin Fan had slept with Ye Qing Huan, Ye Tian Xie’s sister.
He had no idea if Ye Tian Xie knew or not, but Lin Fan was certain that it wouldn’t end well.
Especially with the look that Ye Tian Xie gave him.
Lin Fan hadn’t been able to see through that look at all.
The siblings really were similar…
He hadn’t been able to see through Ye Qing Huan and he wasn’t able to see through Ye Tian Xie.
Ye Tian Xie just calmly said, “I’m here on official business for the sect, so there’s nothing wrong with me being in a place like this.”
The moment that he said this, both Lin Fan and the elder immediately knitted their brows.
They had completely different reactions to this though.
The elder was surprised that Ye Tian Xie was actually here on business for the Heavenly Demon Sect.
One had to know that Ye Tian Xie’s status in the Heavenly Demon Sect was anything but low. He might not have been an elder, but his status was greater than most of the elders in the Heavenly Demon Sect.
After all, he was the only disciple of the sect master.
It was very likely that he would become the sect master in the future, as long as nothing happened to him.
So the elder just couldn’t understand why someone of Ye Tian Xie’s status was sent all the way here for sect business.
Lin Fan’s reaction was a bit of fear.
He was afraid that Ye Tian Xie knew something since the way that he answered the elder was strange. It was as if he was saying that he was here for something different, not just here on sect business…
This made Lin Fan think that Ye Tian Xie knew everything…
Seeing that no one was answering him, Ye Tian Xie said, “For now, let’s sit and have a meal together.” Then slowly looking at all of the others that were outside the door, he said, “Though it doesn’t seem like everyone will fit. So how about just some of you sit down with me?”
There were ministers that seemed like they wanted to enter after hearing this, but Ye Tian Xie raised his hand to say, “Not any of you.”
All of them were shocked to hear this, but there wasn’t anything that they could say since the other side was clearly someone important from the Heavenly Demon Sect. They could tell how important this person was based on how the elder had talked to him.
But the ministers didn’t want to give up that easily.
One of them came close to Mu Bao Bao and said, “Your majesty, shouldn’t we come in with…”
Before he could finish what he was about to say…
“Scram.”
It was one simple word, but it knocked this minister down to his butt on the ground. He was covered in sweat and it looked like he was about to break at any moment.
That word that was said came from Ye Tian Xie.
There was even a dark look on his face as he looked at this minister who had tried to sneak in on the conversation.
The only thing that the minister could do was look to Mu Bao Bao for help, but she just looked down at him with disdain before saying, “You heard the young master. You better leave before he actually loses his temper.”
The minister trembled when he heard this before quickly nodding in agreement. Then when he turned to leave, it was as if he had been spared a terrible fate.
Only he stopped when he heard Mu Bao Bao’s voice from behind him again.
“There’s no need for you to come to court starting tomorrow.”
The minister turned around to look at Mu Bao Bao in shock, but there was nothing that he could do as her mind had already been made up.
This was also her way of showing that the Mu Empire had no intentions of opposing the Heavenly Demon Sect.
None of the ministers seemed to mind that one of their own had been sacrificed. They even looked like they were about to praise Mu Bao Bao for her wise decision.
The power that Ye Tian Xie had demonstrated was more than enough for them to be fully subdued by him. They knew that if their Mu Empire wanted to exist, they needed the support of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
So they even started condemning that one person who had tried to sneak in.
Once that was settled, the ones that remained were easily decided.
The elder was naturally allowed in, along with Mu Bao Bao who represented the Mu Empire and Lin Fan who represented the Love Sect. Other than that, Yue Lan and Ming Xin were allowed in as Lin Fan’s aides, along with one of the ministers that Mu Bao Bao chose to keep.
This was one of the advisors that was rather close to Mu Bao Bao, so she kept her here to help with this meeting. It was better to call her Mu Bao Bao’s maid with how she acted around her since she was one of the maids that the former Emperor Mu had left to help Mu Bao Bao.
Once they settled in, Ye Tian Xie went back to smiling as he said, “Are you not going to order anything?”
Everyone had an awkward look on their face when they heard this, but they eventually ordered something when he said, “It makes me feel bad when I’m the only one eating.”
So it didn’t take long for the food to arrive.
It was only then that Ye Tian Xie said, “Well, there’s a special reason that I’m here.”
Even though the food had arrived, no one really seemed like they wanted to eat once they heard this. All of them just let the food sit there in front of them as they looked at Ye Tian Xie to see what he had to say.
Ye Tian Xie looked around at all of them before turning his eyes to Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan saw Ye Tian Xie looking at him, he couldn’t help feeling nervous.
For Ye Tian Xie to suddenly look at him like this, it really seemed like he knew something was up…
It seemed like Ye Tian Xie had something special to settle with him…
Though he felt worried, Lin Fan just kept a calm look on his face as he waited to see what Ye Tian Xie had to say.
After a pause, Ye Tian Xie continued by saying, “I’m here to present Sect Master Lin and the Love Sect with a special reward.”
“Huh?” Everyone said this at the same time.
It was clear that not a single person had expected Ye Tian Xie to say something like this.
Ye Tian Xie didn’t seem to mind as he continued, “Sect Master Lin has performed a great merit for our Heavenly Demon Sect after all. Even though he had to face the forces sent by the righteous sects, he was able to claim the Divine Blood Fruit and bring it back to our sect.”
“What?” Everyone had a shocked look when they heard this, though some recovered quicker than others. Mu Bao Bao, Yue Lan, and Ming Xin recovered quickly as they looked at Lin Fan with a look like they thought that it was natural that he would be able to do something like this.
The elder just looked at Lin Fan with disbelief as he couldn’t imagine how he had achieved such a task.
Ye Tian Xie suddenly revealed a smile as he said, “Since he has achieved something so unbelievable, the sect has decided to present Sect Master Lin and the Love Sect with a first grade reward.”
